The most beautiful medieval manuscript – the Book of Kells
No full textThe Book of Kells (lat. Codex Cenannensis, Irish: Leabhar Cheanannais), also known as the Gospels of Kells or the Gospels of St. Columba - a manuscript believed to have been created c. 800, richly illuminated by Celtic monks from the monastery on the island of Iona. The manuscript is considered to be one of the most valuable and important monuments of Irish Christianity and works of Gaelic art, which survived to our times. Its fame rests mainly on glamor and artistry decorations that have no equal. Great compositions filling entire pages, craftsmanship decorations and ornamentation of initials used to highlight the text, make The Book of Kells a unique and unrepeatable work of art. Since the mid-seventeenth century The Book of Kells is permanently stored in the Library of Trinity College Dublin (signature MS 58). In 2011 it has been inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register

The Cultural Role of the <i>Irish Folklore Trilogy</i> by Cartoon Saloon in the Context of Contemporary Irish Animation
No full textPrzedmiotem artykułu jest krótka analiza działalności irlandzkiego studia animacji Cartoon Saloon, ze szczególnym naciskiem na tzw. Irish Folklore Trilogy – Sekret księgi z Kells (2009), Sekrety morza (2014) oraz Sekret wilczej gromady (2020). Obrazy te, zarówno w warstwie wizualnej, jak i fabularnej stanowią szeroko pojętą reprezentację irlandzkiej kultury, odwołując się do wydarzeń historycznych (jak powstanie Księgi z Kells, historia miasta Kilkenny), podań i wierzeń ludowych (postacie takie jak selkie i wilkołaki z Ossory) oraz tradycyjnego wzornictwa. Opowiadając o irlandzkiej kulturze w sposób atrakcyjny wizualnie i narracyjnie, a także zrozumiały dla szerokiego grona odbiorców (dzięki objaśnianiu historii i folkloru przez pryzmat współczesnej perspektywy, a także dzięki narracji z perspektywy postaci dziecięcych), te filmy stają się swoistą promocją Zielonej Wyspy. Dodatkowo, by w pełni umiejscowić działalność Cartoon Saloon w kontekście historycznym i produkcyjnym, a także zwrócić uwagę na jego niebywałą wagę dla sztuki animacji, autorka przygląda się historii irlandzkiego filmu animowanego.The topic of this article is a brief analysis of the work of the Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon, with particular emphasis on the so-called Irish Folklore Trilogy – The Secret of Kells (2009), Song of the Sea (2014), and Wolfwalkers (2020). These films, both visually and plot-wise, are broadly representative of Irish culture, referencing historical events (e.g. the creation of the Book of Kells, the history of the town of Kilkenny), folk tales and beliefs (e.g. characters such as the selkies and werewolves of Ossory), and traditional design. By telling the story of Irish culture in a way that is visually and narratively appealing, as well as comprehensible to a wide audience (by explaining history and folklore through a contemporary perspective, as well as by narrating from the perspective of child characters), these films become a sui generis promotion of the Green Isle. Additionally, in order to fully situate Cartoon Saloon’s work in a historical and production studies context, and to draw attention to its incredible importance to the art of animation, the author examines the history of Irish animated film
EXPLAINING THE BREADTH OF EXPERT ESTIMATE RANGES IN AUCTIONS OF RARE BOOKS
No full textThis paper uses data from 3144 rare book auctions to study the breadth of auctioneers’ estimate ranges. The ‘information hypothesis’ proposes that wider ranges reflect greater uncertainty. The ‘reserve hypothesis’ proposes that a narrower range indicates a higher reserve price. The information hypothesis is tested by seeing whether estimate breadths are related to the presence of greater information about likely prices. The reserve hypothesis is tested by seeing whether narrower estimate ranges predict ‘no sales’. Evidence is found in support of the information hypothesis but not the reserve hypothesis. The paper identifies differences between the auction houses Christie’s and Sotheby’s in the estimate strategies they adopt.

The Library of Trinity College - Irish treasury of knowledge and wisdom
No full textPoczątki Biblioteki Trinity College w Dublinie wiążą się z założeniem tamtejszej uczelni w 1592 r. W 1801 r. biblioteka jako pierwsza w całej Irlandii otrzymała prawo do egzemplarza obowiązkowego publikacji wydawanych w całym Zjednoczonym Królestwie Wielkiej Brytanii. Najstarszy budynek biblioteki, nazywany obecnie Starą Biblioteką, stanowi życiowe osiągnięcie architektoniczne Thomasa Burghsa. Stara Biblioteka wraz z znajdującym się w niej Długim Pokojem jest jedną z największych atrakcji turystycznych w Irlandii i przechowuje tysiące starych oraz niezwykle rzadkich woluminów. Biblioteka znajduje się w posiadaniu m.in. harfy Briana Boru, narodowego symbolu Irlandii, kopii Proklamacji Republiki Irlandzkiej z 1916 r, a także słynnej Księgi z Kells.The Library of Trinity College Dublin began with the founding of Trinity College in 1592. In 1801, the Library was given legal deposit rights, making it the only library in Ireland to have such rights for the United Kingdom at that time. The oldest library building, now known as the Old Library, is Thomas Burgh’s magnum opus. Also incorporating the Long Room, the Old Library is one of Ireland's biggest tourist attractions, and holds thousands of rare, and in many cases very early, volumes. The Library is the permanent home to the Brian Boru harp which is a national symbol of Ireland, a copy of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic, and the Book of Kells
